Shared Responsibilities
Working together
Shared Responsibilities:
Our ETS staff will work with participants throughout their middle and high school
years to plan and prepare for their future. Talent Search will share certain responsibilities
with students to help them set and achieve their academic, career, educational, and
life goals.
The main responsibility of ETS is to assist students in successfully completing both
middle and high school. In addition, ETS helps students to become prepared to enter
college and embark upon the career of their choice.
ETS requires that students take an active role in their own growth and development.

1. Attend school regularly and on time (in person or virtually)
2. Participate in class (in person or virtually) by being an active listener and taking
part in discussions
